The Beadweaver Tips For The Day

Here are my 'first thing in the morning' tips for ensuring you actually get some magic creation happening in your beading world today...

1. Right NOW, determine what slot of time you are going to get some of that bead project done today....I find if I discipline myself to do at least a little beading every day there is a continuous sense of creating and my brain is free of the 'I really must get around to...'

2. Tidy your workspace...another brain declutterer. Every time you bead then do a quick reshuffle of your space. Throw out all the nymo threads lying around, restack your beads, make your space into a fresh place to step into next time.

3. Look for at least one lead of inspiration for future beading projects today....it could be anything but when you find it then note it, in a book set aside for that purpose. I find my 'ideas' file in the the brain can only hold so much and spits out inspiration once reaching capacity

4. Connect with other beaders ....If you have a network then talk to at least one other beader today. If you don't have a network then find one...like here, with me...chat, comment and support each others process of creating.

5 Suss out your next buy...even if your not buying today, keep abreast of what's out there in the bead department. I like to go online and check out what people are making or what suppliers are bringing new to online. Magazine adverts are great for finding new supplies or other creatives who fashion their own focal beads.
